A new sweater for my biggest little one, freshly finished. This one is joyfully knit in our own sheep's undyed wool, based on Marie Wallin's Whalsay sweater, in her Shetland book. I resized the pattern, changed it to knit in the round and steek both the front and sleeve holes. And after not finding the perfect handcarved wooden button, I realized that, of course, nothing could be simpler than carving some myself. I cut these toggles (the boy simply demanded toggles) from an apple twig, carved, sanded, and oiled them. I'm over the moon with this very locally grown cozy--just pretend you don't notice that wonky colorwork that I also failed to notice until after I'd cut the steek. 😩 It's still lovely, and cozy, and satisfying.

Well, I’ve got lots of hats in stock 😂 My market didn’t go as well as I was hoping (though I did get my first “Jesus Christ, that’s expensive” 🙄), but overall it was a good experience. I was stationed next to some absolutely fabulous gals and the customers who came through were amazing! I do have a bunch of stock left over, including a handful of Mika beanies (I’m definitely keeping that mustard one for m’self 🙃 [pattern coming soon, too!]), so I’ll post them either here or in my shop soon if you’re looking for some ready to ship jazz. Feel free to DM me if you want to claim anything or want pictures before I post them; I’ve got beanies and ear warmers and octopi (oh my) and scarves ++++ 👍🏻

He does like it. He just pulls faces when the camera is on him. One Bankhead complete for the boy with him making a rare appearance on here. Used #sweetgeorgiayarns which was lovely to work with other than the large amount of dye that came off on my hands. That’s just from doing the 7 rows of crown decreases tonight 🙄. I know it can happen with dark yarns but this is the first time in a while I’ve had dye bleed onto me. I have another skein of this yarn in a bright pink. Let’s see how that does 🙄 #handknit#handknithat#bankheadhat#warmhead#knittersofinstagram

All bundled up in the very BEST of ways 🧣💕 in my #ewerockshawl I finally got around to blocking!! 💖 this shawl is so cozy and warm. I was planning to attach tassels to this one (maybe still will) but I'm thinking tassels might make this swallow-you-whole shawl (my fav!! 💕) just a little TOO long..?? we'll see how it goes. What do you think?

I feel like a broken record but today I woke up to another inch of snow ❄ and I really can't say enough just how happy it makes me to wake up with another soft covering of fluff this time of year! ☃️😍❤
